Item 4.01 | Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant. |
Tschopp, Whitcomb & Orr, P.A. has resigned from its engagement as the principal accountant responsible for auditing the Company’s financial statements. The resignation, which is effective as of November 16, 2005, was accepted by the Company’s Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.
Tschopp’s report on the Company’s financial statements for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period preceding Tschopp’s resignation, the Company did not have any disagreements with Tschopp on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Tschopp, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report.
During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period preceding Tschopp’s resignation, Tschopp did not advise the Company of any of the following:
(A) That the internal controls necessary for the Company to develop reliable financial statements did not exist;
(B) That information had come to Tschopp’s attention that had led it to no longer be able to rely on management’s representations, or that had made it unwilling to be associated with the financial statements prepared by management;
(C) (1) That Tschopp needed to expand significantly the scope of its audit, or that information had come to Tschopp’s attention that if further investigated may: (i) materially impact the fairness of reliability of either: a previously issued audit report or the underlying financial statements; or the financial statements issued or to be issued covering the fiscal period(s) subsequent to the date of the most recent financial statements covered by an audit report (including information that would have prevented it from rendering an unqualified audit report on those financial statements), or (ii) cause it to be unwilling to rely on management’s representations or be associated with the Company’s financial statements, and (2) due to Tschopp’s resignation (due to audit scope limitations or otherwise) or dismissal, or for any other reason, the accountant did not so expand the scope of its audit or conduct such further investigation; or
(D) (1) That information has come to Tschopp’s attention that it had concluded materially impacted the fairness or reliability of either: (i) a previously issued audit report or the underlying financial statements, or (ii) the financial statements issued or to be issued covering the fiscal period(s) subsequent to the date of the most recent financial statements covered by an audit report (including information that, unless resolved to Tschopp’s satisfaction, would prevent it from rendering an unqualified audit
report on those financial statements), and (2) the issue has not been resolved to Tschopp’s satisfaction prior to its resignation.
The Company provided Tschopp with a copy of the disclosures set forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K, and requested that Tschopp furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company herein. The letter received by the Company from Tschopp, in which Tschopp states that it is in agreement with the disclosures set forth herein, is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.
